Sorry about this - only just back in London and catching up
via old digests...and it wasn't Saturday, that was Sunday
might. Most of the rest of them had scarpered by then,
including Kevin, who obviously couldn't have known the
truth.

Bill's panel was full of interest - Bill, stop feeling
nervous about it. Jose Latour would have made it worth the
money all by himself. AND he gave me a copy of OUTCAST.

Somebody has probably already said FWFS is a first book. I
thought it was very well written, but a little too
derivative. Nice setting. Interesting to see how he
develops.
